Dude just stop. Satellite bandwidth is even more limited and latency is very high. It’s a compromised solution and wouldn’t be economical.

I don’t think you understand just how disconnected this island it from the global fiber infrastructure. Above is a map of subsea fiber optic cables, notice that there isn’t a single cable across the Atlantic south of the Tropic of Cancer, and the majority of interconnections are north of the Equator. This island sits…

I'd argue that the golden age Japanese coupes were very competitive with contemporary 911's. The FD RX-7, Z31 300ZX, and Mk3 Supra were all right up there with the 964, especially when comparing turbo models.

How do you propose that McLaren pays for that? McLaren Automotive is a tiny company with limited resources and no majority owner. The only way they go up against Porsche with multiple platforms (3 tiers - like the 981/991/918 sports cars) is to make SUVs and sedans to grow their bottom line. Does anyone really want a…

How much have you spent on McLaren products in your lifetime? Perhaps a jacket, maybe a hat? That doesn’t even come close to the $180,000 that a 570S buyer will give them. Given that, McLaren doesn’t really care about your opinion.

Neither do GM's production V6 engines.

At the cost of looking generic. Every new Cadillac I see is just so bland and uninspiring. Yes the curves are pretty but they blend into the crowd and the fascias are even less distinctive, unlike the mid-2000s models which were unmistakably Cadillacs.

DeMuro wrote this article for Autotrader, Tom is just rehashing it. So it'd be DeMuro vs DeMuro, cage match.

Gulfstream pressure tested the G650 to a gauge pressure over 1 bar, I imagine the Dassault is similarly constructed.

I know at least one Jalopnik columnist who would disagree with you on that point.

I did not fully comprehend the size of this aircraft until this image. The tail has nearly the same span as an entire 747, that's amazing!

The record payload wasn't a thing, it was LTL cargo.

Sure, we'll see how that pans out. Robots are an integral part of vehicle assembly already, and they don't have nearly enough capabilities to do everything themselves.

That's about how much the average American commuter spends on gas taxes in a year so a $200 fee wouldn't be that bad. In fact I think it should be higher, in addition to raising the gas tax. I'd gladly pay the extra money if it meant I didn't have to sit in extra traffic due to wheel-destroying potholes every few…

Brutal military dictatorships are one of the most stable forms of government. At least, until the people get fed up and overthrow the regime, but that doesn't always work out. Just look at how bad things have gotten in Syria. Obviously Al-Assad is a repressive dictator but at least the country functioned when he was…

Hey, cattle have go get from point A to point B somehow, and they're not terribly agile. As a warning, I should add that it is imperative that you not overstuff your plane with cows, since their collective body heat can set off smoke detectors.

38k a year is not that much money for a job with basically no advancement potential. It's not like most factory workers can expect to get promoted or significantly improve their skills. As a recently employed engineer I will get on average 5-10% yearly raises for at least the next 20 years, not counting promotions.

A big unannounced group sucks but on the other hand it's a big check with automatic gratuity. If you have the space available it's worth it, it's not like them making a reservation would make your restaurant any less busy. Unless your restaurant doesn't add 18% for large parties, in which case god help you.

I responded to your sarcastic remarks with more sarcasm yet it still flew over your head. Good job! (for your sake, that's even more sarcasm).

Yes, let's put jet fuel inside the passenger compartment. What a fantastic idea.
